At present, sex-change surgery is mainly aimed at men. Surgery includes excision of the original sexual organs and reconstruction of new sexual organs, including laryngectomy, breast augmentation, orchiectomy, urethroplasty, labiaplasty and vaginal reconstruction. The doctor will make an incision in the scrotum, pull open the skin and remove the testicles on both sides. Subsequently, the dorsal plexus that transmits nerve signals to the penis is removed, and then the cavernous body of the penis is removed as completely as possible. Then, the doctor cut the urethra short and put it in the proper position of the artificial vagina, so that they can urinate like normal women, keep the glans flap with neurovascular pedicle and rebuild the clitoris. In the process of female vulva reconstruction, the skin of scrotum will be divided into two parts, and the labia majora and labia minora will be formed by pruning, that is, the inner and outer "lip-like" structures outside the vaginal opening. Male breast tissue is small and the chest is wide. Generally, large-capacity breast prosthesis is implanted under the pectoralis major muscle, and the operation steps are basically the same as those of female breast augmentation.
However, what we need to know is that transsexual surgery can only change the appearance of reproductive organs, but not the nature of sex. After the operation, the transplanted organ can only have extremely weak sexual function and no reproductive ability. It satisfies the psychological needs of transgender people, but deprives them of the right to have children. Second, when transsexual surgery changes the sex of transsexuals, not only will they face great social pressure, but their families, relatives and friends will also face similar difficulties. Fortunately, Venus' family and Einar Wegener's wife, even the wife of the 72-year-old hero in the recent news, are supportive and protective. Finally, in any case, sex-change surgery is a traumatic operation, which requires great physical trauma and high economic cost. This is an irreversible operation, so the decision to accept this operation must require transgender people and doctors to be extremely cautious. Therefore, patients must undergo a series of thorough and strict psychological evaluation before entering the surgical procedure.
The success and continuous development of sex-change surgery undoubtedly brought hope to a group of people who tried to get rid of their pain through sex-change surgery, but it also undoubtedly brought a series of family, social, ethical and legal problems. No matter what the outside world thinks, transgender people should also strengthen their will exercise and enhance their psychological resilience and adaptability. Transgender people like He and Jin Xing can still live happily after surgery, mainly because of their strong inner heart and adaptability to survival.
